Beatriz Ychussie’s career in mathematics seemed to be going really well. She worked at Roskilde University in Denmark where, in 2015 and 2016 alone, she published four papers on mathematical formulae for quantum particles, heat flow and geometry, and reviewed multiple manuscripts for reputable journals.But a few years later, her run of promising studies dried up.

I have half a loaf of olive bread on my counter right now, an entire loaf of pre-cut sourdough, two loaves of seeded sandwich bread and 42 (yes) English muffins in my freezer. I take my bread very seriously, so my least favorite thing is when I take out some packages from my freezer or buy a fresh loaf, and it spoils instantly.
